7 Port USB 2.0 High-speed HUB Powered + Ac Adapter NEW Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The item works quite well so far, it has only been connected about 5 days. What can you say about a 7 port USB hub? With that many ports, it would have to be powered by an external AC adapter. The one provided does not seem to be of the highest quality, it is very light but has the longest cable in the kit. The cable that connects the hub to the computer is only about 18 inches long, making it hard to place the hub in a convenient accessible area. The design of the hub leaves a bit to be desired also. There are five USB ports on one side of the hub and an additional two on the rear of the hub. This makes connecting and keeping the hub in a balanced upright position in the supplied clip-on stand quite difficult. The clip-on stand is no wider than the hub itself and does not really function as a stand as well as it should. Stand could have been larger and able to be used more easily. I think maybe a Velcro mounting surface might have worked better. But for $3.99 plus $4.99 for shipping, I really do not have a lot to complain about. It works so far and was cheap to buy. I could have bought a more expensive powered hub, but I dont use it that much. It is great when I need a USB port with the right amount of power to drive my device ie: webcam, portable harddrives, and wired printers. So all on all it was a good purchase with some design flaws to cut manufacturing prices. But for the life of me I could and still cannot find a brand name.

Cables Unlimited USB1870 USB 2.0 7-Port Desktop Hub with Power Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Another reviewer here complained bitterly about this USB hub because, and I quote verbatim here, "it looks as octopus" and that it wasn't sufficiently "stackable" for him/her. If you have the same mentality as this other reviewer, someone who would doubtlessly return their Bugatti Veyron because the cigarette lighter isn't the proper shade of vermillion or something, I'd suggest you stop reading this particular review immediately; this review will center around characteristics that are meaningful, relevant, and, you know, not idiotic, and will be of no interest to you.

NOT all USB hubs are created equal. There is enough "latitude" in the USB-2 specifications for a hub manufacturer to technically meet the specifications and produce a hub that is, for all practical purposes, useless. MANY hubs on the market, especially the dirt cheap ones, fall into this category. Essentially, they aren't worth the plastic they're made of. The differences between USB hubs is not often covered; everyone mostly assumes that USB hubs are pretty much all the same, a true commodity item, and nothing could be further from the truth.

This is a genuine multi-TT hub, and it works perfectly and reliably. True, if you plug it into power and fully load it with connections, since it's about the size of a pack of cigarettes, it WILL look something like an octopus, although with nine wires sticking out of it instead of eight. How it could possibly look like anything else is beyond me.

I loaded this thing up with 7, 1 TB hard drives and started simultaneous reads and writes to all of them. While the transfers were limited to the total speed of the USB 2 specification (which is perfectly reasonable), it worked perfectly and without a hitch. I then dismounted and removed two of the hard drives and replaced them with a USB headset and USB graphics tablet, and started the test again with the remaining five hard drives while listening to music on the headset and working with the graphics tablet in Photoshop. Again, it worked flawlessly.

Trust me... working flawlessly is something you want in a USB 2 hub, ESPECIALLY if you plan to plug in lots of external hard drives, and especially if they need bus power.

The device is very small and very light. The combined weight and stiffness of the cables plugged into it WILL result in the device not staying put. As disappointing as it may be to some people, gravity and physics WILL apply, EVEN to this well-built, excellent device. I would suggest using zip ties or a paperweight if this is really a problem for you.

If you live in the real world and have concerns outside of high fashion and advanced color coordination, and you need a USB hub, buy this one. It actually, and spectacularly, works.

Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 7-Port Lighted Hub F5U700 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Have had this plastic cased hub for about two months now and it's still working as well as the ports on the computer - but more convenient. Comes with a power supply, although it appears it's only needed if you want the hub lit even when the computer is off. Mine works fine on just USB power with only one drive installed, and I don't want the dual blue LEDs on top lit all the time as they are very bright, like light up the room bright. Also the ports may be too close to install 4 drives simultaneously. My attitude is - the brighter the better - and I only have two thumb drives, so I'd definitely buy this hub again.

Targus 7-Port USB 2.0 Desktop Hub with Audio Pass-Through ACH81US (Silver) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I personally tested 8 different 7 port usb hubs for use in
a computer science testbed and this is the only one that
actually behaves properly according to the USB specs
in terms of supplying power from the external transformer.
All the others drew too much current from the USB cable,
didn't communicate properly with our devices or stopped working after a few months.The testbed has been running
for a few years and these hubs have been working great.
I use them myself also.I highly recommend them.
